After weeks of lovely weather Saturday saw torrential rain throughout, however this did not dampen competitors spirits as for those who were competing in the league...rosettes and prizes were up for grabs therefore rain or no rain the steaks were high!
The cross-poles class was the first on the day, with everyone within the class coming home with a rosette regardless of whether they were clear or not. Those who had competed in the league came home with a small grooming kit for their pony and and extra special rosette for all their efforts.
Sophie Walsh and ‘Cahore Blue Diamond’ have been very consistent throughout the 50cm league so when they were awarded first place in the league it was no surprise. Joint second was Alexa Reid riding ‘Bobby’ and Katie Stewart riding ‘Clarmore Royal Reflection’, both girls have shone through throughout the six weeks and their progression over the weeks has been very clear to see and its been a pleasure to watch. Well done girls, very well deserved.
With the league placings each competitors best four scores were taken towards their final total. Casey Froemling and Annie Lucas have shown great sportsmanship throughout the 60cm league, with both of them placing in the top six placings throughout the six weeks. Finishing in the top spot and taking home a Hagans croft numnah was a delighted Annie Lucas riding ‘Sparky’, followed by Casey and ‘Ralphie’ in second place.
Taking the 70cm league win was Mia Jackson and ‘Molly’, again this pairing have been very consistent throughout the six weeks and were delighted to receive a numnah for all their efforts. Second place went to Annie Lucas and ‘Sparky’.
Gracie Hamilton and ‘Benaughlin May’ finished on a league score of 57 which was more than plenty to take first place in the 80cm league, followed by Emma Morrison and ‘Sliabh Ban Rosie’ in second place, Emma and her beautiful grey mare then went onto take the win in the 90cm league, followed by Jessica Scott in second place.
The 1m league seen Maisie Anderson and ‘Farhill Captain Harry’ take the win, these pair make these heights look so easy! Well done.
